BATTERY and SD CARD INSTALLATION
The Bushnell X-8 Digital Trail Camera is designed to operate using 4 or 8
AA batteries. We recommend using a full set of 8 Lithium (for longest life)
or Alkaline batteries.
NOTE: Always set the power switch to the O position when installing or
removing batteries.
Please make sure the batteries are inserted correctly, as indicated inside
the battery compartment. Incorrect voltage or polarity (+/-) will damage
the camera. The battery level meter on the top right of the display will
indicate when the internal batteries are low.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix battery types-use ALL lithium or ALL alkaline.
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
Memory
Your X-8 Digital Trail Camera has a memory card slot, to accept SD cards
(sold separately) up to 32GB maximum capacity. If no SD card is inserted,
the display will ash“NOSD”, and the camera will not operate.
Inserting an SD card
• Make sure the power switch is in the O position whenever adding
or removing memory.
• Insert an SD card into the card slot completely and oriented correctly
as shown by the icon above the slot (label up, contacts facing down
and notched corner on the right).
• To remove the SD memory card, depress the SD card and pull out
the card gently.
Using a new, blank SD card is recommended. If the SD card has been used
in another device, please make sure to format using the Format option
in the X-8 trail cam’s Setup menu before you set the camera to capture
photos/videos. New cards are ready to use straight from the package.

ABOUT THE SETUP MENU
Slide the power switch to the On position.You’ll see“WAIT”on the display,
then the Setup Menu screen (see below). Before you start using the
camera, you’ll no doubt want to set the date/time so they are imprinted
correctly on your photos, and maybe change the trigger delay time and
image resolution to your preferences. This is done by editing the settings
of an item listed in the Setup Menu.
To enter the Setup Menu at any time, press the Setup button (far left side
of the control panel).
USING THE SETUP MENU
The Setup Menu has 5 dierent items, which appear on a list in the left
frame of the display. Here’s how to edit (change) the setting of a menu
item:
1. Select the menu item you want to edit by pressing the Up or Down
button until the item is blinking. Note: you can see the current/
default setting for each item (without changing it) in the main center
frame as you move up and down the list of items.
2. Press the Ok button.
3. You can now select the setting you prefer for the selected item
by pressing the Up or Down button. The setting displayed in the
center frame will blink until you press Ok to conrm it is the setting
you want to save.
4. To exit the Setup menu at any time, simply press the Setup button.

Stop times)
Press Ok-”T-Delay”will ash.
Set the T-Delay time from 1-60
Minutes, using the Up/Down
buttons. The T-Delay parameter
sets how often photos or videos
are captured during the “Duty”
interval. Press Ok-the display will
ash“Duty”. Use Up/Down to
set the start hour (24 hr format,
from 00:00 to 23.00 hours). Press
Ok and use Up/Down to set the
start minute (:00-:59). Press Ok
and repeat the process to set the
stop hour and minute. The Duty
settings determine the“window”
or block of time when photos/
videos will be captured, without
requiring a PIR trigger from a
live animal. Example: T-Lapse
operation (Duty cycle) from
5:30AM to 8:00AM, at 7 minute
intervals. NOTE: if you don’t
want the camera to operate in
Time Lapse mode, be sure that
the T-Delay time is set to “OFF”.
